In the 19705. the ARPAnet gave way to the NSFnet, run by the National Science Foundation, to which the internal networks of dozens of universities, research labs and high-tech companies snerrsgruh1allyamneeted. Bythattimetheinternet(aaitbegan to be called) became available for public use. In practice, how. ever, the great complexity and expense of the wall-size comput- ers kept Internet use down to a few thousand people worldwide, most of them researchers sharing ideas and data. The Internet didn't explode until the last three years, when cheap, fast modems first allowed the average home or busi- ness y user to "go online'. It is now estimated that over 30 million people use the Internet worldwide, and that number is Suite 1001.
